Me: Woah, based off the title, this journal looks like it would be a perfect source for my paper. May I see the article please, EBSCOhost?
EBSCOhost: Of course! Here you go!
Me: Oh! Um…thank you, but this is just the abstract…do you have the actual journal, too?
EBSCOhost: Oh. No. I don’t have it. Lmao. But here’s a link to the journal for you!
Me: Ah, cool, thank—Hey, this website wants me to pay $30 for this journal?
EBSCOhost: That’s my final offer. Take it or leave it. I cannot move mountains for you.
UPDATE: I figured it out. Everybody say “thank you jstor,” lmao
#sillyposting#grad tag#I am forcibly removed from the premises#for context EBSCOhost is an online database for academic journals#that you can access for free using your school’s login#all of the databases pull this stunt lmao I’m just picking on EBSCOhost#taunting me with journals I can’t have…sad!#update: the funniest thing is finding an article like this in one database#it not being there#and searching the title in a different database and g finding it#so silly
